The project in Georgia is called "Restoring Our Waters" or ROW, and is in the infancy or organizational stage at this point. The project will be very collaborative among the higher education institutions, business community, and schools districts throughout Georgia. We also are working with Southern Illinois and the river project curriculum developed at that institution."
